I don't know if Lint can find the overwriting the bounds of an array
because the array is often indexed by a variable.
Tools which may help you:

	ProLint:	Lint for C/C++ (www.pts.co.uk)
	INSURE++:	lint(C/C++) + memory monitor + coverage analysis
			(www.fastcase.com)
	Purify:		memory checker
			(www.pureatria.com)

Also there are some compiler on the markets which offers also 
runtime checking (I think SPARCworks, ObjectCenter).
